🇫🇷 hello to all! I'm contacting you to know if anyone here is currently living in Thailand on a Digital Work Visa (DTV) while being employed on a Permanent Contract (CDI) in a French company. I’m exploring this avenue myself and would really appreciate the opportunity to ask some practical questions about how you set things up, both with your employer and from a administrative/legal perspective. If you're up for a quick chat or share your experience, feel free to send me a private message or leave a comment below. Thanks in advance for your help! 🙏😊

Urgent Information Needed Regarding DTV Visa – Vientiane Thai Embassy

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask you a question:

1. Could I leave and re-enter Laos while waiting the interview?

I would like to go to Vietnam just for a day because I don't want to overstay in Laos.

Do you have any experience with that? I am not so sure that it is allowed or not.

Thank you so much for your time and sharing.

Hi all, my wife (Chinese citizen) and I (Australian citizen) are thinking of retiring to Thailand. I am 60 and neither of us are planning on working, and the income and deposit requirements arent an issue. I see that the O-X visa is for 5+5 years, what happens after the ten years? Can we reapply or do we have to leave? Cheers and TIA, Peter.

Can I fill out the new arrival card at the airport when I arrive

Bangkok Bank update:

I have had this account for several years, initially opened on a tourist visa.

Because of all the confusion about accounts getting closed I visited the local branch today for peace of mind.

They said no problem with older accounts.

For these they look at cash flow to prevent money laundering…Large amount of money in and then out again.

Regular monthly deposits and bills paid online are normal and proper use of the account.

They are contacting people by email if there account issues.

USA passport on DTV visa. Account in Chiang Mai. 5 June 2025.

I hope this helps…..I was really freaked out with all the news of BB accounts getting closed.

I have been reading the posts on here for some time and had my non-o based on retirement all planned out. Now there is a fly in the ointment!

I am a dual citizen of UK/Aus. Resident in Aus for 19 years and have always used my Aus passport to enter the Kingdom. I was going to move as soon as my visa was granted having applied via e-visa to Canberra embassy.It now looks like I need to go to UK shortly after I retire albeit for only a few weeks. My question is if I am granted the non o in Aus and then travel to the UK returning to Thailand will this be ok?

Background: Anyone who has spent time in the ‘Rose of the North’ probably knows Chiang Mai immigration is notorious for being extremely busy with hundreds of people queuing per day starting before sunrise.

Lamphun office is tiny and barely sees anyone.

Question: if someone stays one night in Lamphun and gets the property to file a TM30, can you use the Lamphun office for an extension on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry?

It’s a 30 minute drive and rooms from 300฿. Why not have an overnight holiday to save spending 8-12 hours at immigration?

I’ve convinced my friends to try this so they don’t lose a day of their holiday.

Am I wrong? If so, the group will tell me quickly.
